Working minimized my student debt

When I was 16, I was hoping for a new vehicle and it never happened. I realized, if I wanted to get it, I would have to raise the money myself.

Since then, I've had 17 jobs. Many of them were seasonal.

As a freshman in college, I delivered newspapers seven days a week. I'd wake up at 5:30 a.m., deliver papers, and then I'd go to an accounting firm, where I'd run errands and make copies during tax season.
